This is a great park! A nice large playground for children to enjoy with picnic tables. There are three nature trails which all together add up to about 1.5 miles if you walk around all of them. I took a few loops and got in a great workout! There are 3 ponds, 1 of them allows for fishing and also has a picnic area with a gazebo and benches. The middle pond is full of turtles. It's fun to see them swimming around!

This is a fantastic Park. You can always have fun either hiking the trails playing at the park or going to the little fish aquarium that they have. The playground is by far a fantastic playground. It's always super clean and if you're taking their younger kids there you can always find other kids for them to play with.

This is a great park! Even with a healthy number of people here, it's never felt crowded, and there's always plenty of space to wander a bit farther and find yourself almost on your own. There's plenty to do. They have playgrounds, ponds, places to sit, places to eat, and places to workout. There are fun trails to take through the wooded areas that make you feel like you're in the middle of the forest, even though you're still in the heart of civilization.

This is an awesome park. When I used to live nearby, my dog and I would walk into the park through one of the back trails. I like how this park has some overgrown portions as well as the manicured traditional park look. It's almost like two parks in one. The ponds here are very relaxing to walk around and there never seems to be overcrowding here.

This is an all time favorite place of mine to go and reflect. It's quiet and the scenery is just gorgeous. Now the trees are bright yellow, red and orange and the view of the James River running through Richmond is a treasure. My hometown and I love it! Libby Hill offers an amazing view of the city and the James. With benches to sit and people watch, and walk ways to enjoy a stroll with your loved one or fur baby.
